And  Jesus  came  and  spake  unto  them,  say¬ 
ing,  All  power  is  given  unto  me  in  Heaven 
and  in  Earth.  Go  ye  therefore,  and  teach  all 
nations,  baptizing  them  in  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  the  Son  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost: 
Teaching  them  to  observe  all  whatsoever  I 
have  commanded  you:  and  lo,  I  am  with  you 
alway,  even  unto  the  end  of  the  world.; — Matt.
